Tick tock, not Tik Tok

Tick tock, not Tik Tok

Whether you prefer “live and let live” or “live and let die” there is a lot of wisdom in knowing that one of the best personal policies you might have is to stay away from the gossipmongers and to not interject yourself into other people’s lives and problems. 10/16/2024 09:04 AM

Vote for solid investment strategies

Vote for solid investment strategies

With the presidential election just a few weeks away, the public is naturally interested in not just the outcome but what the results will mean for issues of national importance. As a citizen, you likely share these concerns — but how about as an investor? After the votes are counted — or even before — should you make some moves in anticipation of possible changes in policy? 10/16/2024 09:03 AM

A Song. A Trench Coat. And the Old Rugged Cross

A Song. A Trench Coat. And the Old Rugged Cross

The man stood near the street sign, wrapped in a trench coat, as I drove through the intersection, his eyes following me and mine gazing at him. I had plans to deliver some drinks to my homeless friends, who lingered in a group at the next corner, so I kept going. After much laughter and chatting, the group dispersed, and I drove back up the same street. That’s when I noticed a guitar case resting upright by the stop sign, waiting for someone to come back and claim it. 10/16/2024 09:03 AM

Going Old School - A look at some good structure spots always worth a few casts

Going Old School - A look at some good structure spots always worth a few casts

I’ve been fortunate to visit some of the very best largemouth bass lakes in the world, and I’m thankful that so many of those trips came at a time when fishing was still fishing. Not the video game it has become for so many since the evolution of high-tech electronics like forward-facing sonar, monster screens and other game changing goodies. 10/16/2024 09:02 AM

Schools around the area have been treated to some very special visitors in the last week as fire departments from all around have been working hard to teach young lives about fire safety. Pictured are members of the DeKalb Fire Department as they visited Malta Elementary last week.

Freedom isn’t free

Freedom isn’t free

The “Up with People” touring singing groups were popular when we grew up in the sixties. One of their songs, probably simply subtitled “Freedom Isn’t Free,” still quickly comes to mind when we see or read about anti-American protests. The chorus said, “Freedom isn’t free, freedom isn’t free. You’ve got to pay the price, you’ve got to sacrifice for your liberty.” 10/16/2024 09:02 AM
